Combat Feedback, Audio Improvements & World Building
📅 Feb 24, 2026🧪 Build: Development#World #Combat #AI
This update focused on improving combat feel and immersion. I implemented new enemy sound effects,
impact audio, and visual damage indicators to make every hit feel more responsive and satisfying.

The leap-based attack mechanic is still not functioning as intended and remains under active debugging.
Added a placeholder forest environment for early world-building and level flow testing.
Integrated background music to evaluate atmosphere and tone.
Refined enemy AI logic and resolved multiple state machine issues.
Implemented weapon slash effects for one-handed, two-handed, and dual-wield combat styles.
What’s Next
Polish pass on forest environment assets
Further refinement of enemy AI behavior
Additional hit feedback tuning for stronger melee impact
